I just tried to access the remote machine using the ID I used last time. I have never set up an encryption key with RA. I believe the version has not changed since it was installed a couple of months ago.
#Teamviewer unattended access without account software#
No, the software was not updated recently (unless it did so without notifying me). I really think that the Computer ID should never change. It makes no difference to me regarding the PIN or password access as long as the PIN number doesn't change when the PC boots up next time. This is particularly worrying as the only way I could find out what it was was to do so via Teamviewer. The big issue I have is that I don't know why the Computer ID changed. On my PC I typed in the new Computer ID into RA and I was able to connect but I had to use the PIN and I was not given the opportunity to login using the PC's password that I had been previously using. I had to be very quick in Teamviewer as I knew I would be disconnected before long. When I looked at the RA screen however I saw that the Computer ID and password had changed from what it was before. I then accessed the PC using Teamviewer and discovered that it was working perfectly. I then remotely powered off the PC and tried again with the same result. I waited a few minutes to try and access it again and this time RA was unable to connect to it remotely I got a message when I tried to connect that it couldn't find the PC or PIN was wrong (I can't remember the exact message sorry about that). This morning the remote PC seemed to have some issues (nothing to do with RA) so I decided to shut it down within Windows and RA disconnected. I have been accessing a remote PC for some months by selecting the Computer ID which has been retained in the RA dropdown list and then typing in the password to the PC.
